In Episode #30 we have Nonna Paolone teaching us how to make a delicious and healthy Beet Salad (Italian Style) for her youngest daughter Laurie Paolone. Nonna’s daughter Laurie is undergoing chemotherapy for Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer. Her daughter’s Iron count are always on the low side. Beets are very high in Iron and eating beets helps with her Iron count.
When Nonna & Nonno were growing up in Castropignano, Italy they would feed beets to the pigs, they would never eat it for themselves. So, why are they eating beets today? Nonna, knowing that her daughters Iron was low went and bought Beets. This is Nonna’s way of making Beet Salad …Italian Style! Everyone loves them especially Nonno. Watch to get the step by step instructions so you too can make this for your friends, family, or sick loved ones to enjoy. One important ingredient that Nonna always adds to her recipes is cooking with her heart. So, be sure when you make this you do it with all your heart. Enjoy!
